finally framed!



I did these about 4 years ago but have only just dug them out and framed them after buying a tool for bevelling mountboard. The man i used to go to for framing who was fantastic, sold his business and was only doing framing via leads from the new owner, who had turned it into a photo on canvas place. Unfortunately the new owner was also adding a premium onto the cost of framing when he was working out the charge, so a frame that had previously been £25 including double mountboard and wadding/mounting the stitching was £55, which i paid for my last project as had sitched for daughter and promised to get it framed for hwer room, but there is no way i could keep paying that sort of price, so, I am now trying my hand at framing them myself.

Kalin


One of the cats decided he wanted to get in on the act. He is a Tonkinese I got from a rescue centre just over 2 years ago, called Kalin. The center said his owners didn't have time for him but I suspect it was more to do with the fact that he has an incurable bowel condition.
